Just looking for a general MMA facility with ground work, striking, cardio, etc. I’ve trained a little bit here in Erie but there are next to no options and the one gym I do go to was solely jiu jitsu, though they added a couple boxing classes recently. Just learning the basics and getting in shape, though I’d like to at least do submission tourneys and amateur in the next few years.

No worries about the argument. Doesn’t seem ban worthy for anyone as it was taken care of without me intervening which is great.

Yeah I’ll be hitting up you and Dietrich when I get down there to figure out what places are recommended, though area will definitely be a big factor. I’m planning on visiting a few of them when I visit sometime just to kind of get a feel for them, make contacts, etc.

Kris,
Dietrich actually seems to have a decent handle on that situation. I know CrossFit is well respected… LA Boxing is part of a chain, this new Rapid Fitness place I may actually check out. There is (or at least used to be) a Lion’s Den academy in Durham, which Frank has been to. So, where you end up going may depend on which part of town you end up in. LA Boxing is literally 3 minutes from where I live, Cross Fit is on the other side of Raleigh from me (20-25 minutes), and RapidFitness is kinda in between (15-20 minutes depending on traffic). The Lion’s Den place is about 35-40 minutes away from me.

I just would like to point out the irony of your name being “ufcmanz” and yet you’re one of the most frequent UFC critics on the site.

WOW this is funny ,I was reading the Titles of each blog I’d missed from today and yesterday then I read Diego Sanchez vs Joe Daddy was main event for this card, I was Laughing at the Main Event and said this must be another England card because the UFC mainly gives them the Blockbuster fights. The only problem I have with Diego Headlining is that he’s up against Stevenson who just lost to Ken Flo, If he’s up against Sean Sherk / or Ken Flo you have a real explosive main event.

Personally I wouldn’t main if it was
Diego Sanchez vs Sean Sherk as {Main event}
Tyson Griffin vs Joe Stevenson as {Co main event}

By the way ,the only reason I’m watching this event is for Marquardt/Sanchez/Dos Santos

Justin – You need to scope out the schools in the area so you can tell me where I should be training when I get down there That Rapid Fitness place seems solid.
